In this session I’ll show how to apply the Behavior Driven Development (BDD) cycle when developing a feature from top to bottom in a fictitious.NET web application. Building on the concepts of Test Driven Development, I’ll show you how BDD helps you produce tests that read like specifications, by forcing you to focus on what the system is supposed to do, rather than how it’s implemented.

Starting from the acceptance tests seen from the user’s perspective, we’ll work our way through the system implementing the necessary components at each tier, guided by unit tests. In the process, I’ll cover how to write BDD-style tests in plain English with SpecFlow, in JavaScript with Jasmin and in C# with MSpec. In other words, it’ll be BDD all the way down.
